General NFL 2010 Regular Season Thread

Not that I really believe it effected the call because they didn't have anything to do with the replay but it doesn't help that 2 of the officials (line judge and back judge) are from Pittsburgh.
Also yes the Phins got hosed and the Steelers yet again seem to come out on the favorable side of a controversial call but to help keep my sanity I have to remind myself that the Phins kicked 5 FG's and if they managed to score a TD on one of those they win the game.


Also not that I would expect him to say ya we got one over but Ben Rothelesraper said in post game he recovered the ball.... Yaaa like I trust the word and judgment of you the same guy who thought it was a good idea to not wear a helmet and wrecked his rookie year and need I mention his past 2 summers of lets just say indiscretion.

Yeah, the refs kicked that call, but as mentioned before, it would have helped if the Phins could have found the end-zone. I'm of the opinion that one call can be the nexus of the game, but you can't blame the loss solely on that call. And why, oh why, did I take the computers advice and sit McFadden yesterday in fantasy?!

By the way, Dtol, wherever you are congratulations. Damn if only Harvin could have gotten that 2nd foot in. Good game though. I have been a Favre-apologist for some time now, but I'm getting to the point to where I'm wondering if a change could do us good. Two of those picks last night were inexcusable, especially the pick-six. And to you AFC fans out there, is there an NFC team that really scares anyone right now?
 
I saw the Bills/Ravens overtime play on PTI and about five Ravens held the Bills player up while Ray Lewis stripped the football and rerecovered. I mean, are you are even allowed to pick a guy up like that? I know you can hold him but they had him way off of the ground. Either way, his foward progress was stopped, what with his feet being that high off the ground and all. Refs blew another huge call, but nobody cares since it was the Bills.

The Giants are reminding me a lot of the team that knocked off New England. Started slow and get better each week. They are the only NFC team that looks...what's the word I'm looking for?...oh, yeah: good.
 
I think I posted it somewhere on here that I loved the Giants more than any other team as far as winning the Super Bowl/odds go. At 21:1, I loved what they brought to the table with a core of QB/HC/O-Line/D-Line that's done it before. Add in the fact that they have good weapons and their secondary was upgraded (Rolle, a vet like Grant in big games) and it put it over the top for me. Their LB's scare me but still, I thought they were the best value. Every team has flaws.

I agree. There's way too many times that a player's progress is clearly stopped, there's multiple defenders all over him, and yet the refs wait another few seconds to blow their whistles. Meanwhile, plays that are in mid-stream get blown dead way too quickly, balls come popping out a millisecond later, and the play's not reviewable because the whistle blew it dead.

But imagine how pissed you'd be if that same player, whose forward progress had stopped with 4 defenders hanging on him suddenly broke free and went for six, only to find out that play had been whistled dead. Especially if it were your favorite team/player and it was going to be the game winner.

Obviously. There's no denying that. But when to blow the whistle is not that fine of an art. It really isn't.
 
Sam Bradford sure seems to be putting together a very nice rookie season. Lucky Rams fans. Wish the 49ers could figure out how to draft a good QB.

It looks like the 49ers might actually win today, unless they find someway to lose yet again. At this point I actually wouldn't mind them losing. I'm ready to clean house, and start over.

I also have to LOL at the Cowboys!! I love seeing them suck.
